Following the November 11 bombing in Islamabad, Pakistan accused “Indian proxies”, escalating bilateral tensions with New Delhi. (Publish date: 11 Nov 2025)
Brief:
In the aftermath of the suicide bombing in Islamabad on 11 November 2025, Pakistan’s government pointed fingers at “Indian proxies” operating via Afghanistan, intensifying diplomatic friction with New Delhi and Kabul. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif declared that cross-border aggression “could not be ruled out” and described the country as being in a “state of war.” The explosive event—targeting a judicial complex and claimed by a faction of the TTP—has triggered not only a security review but a diplomatic recalibration. Pakistan’s narrative frames the attack as part of a broader strategic threat, seeking to internationalise the issue. For foreign-policy watchers, the incident highlights how internal militancy, regional dynamics and diplomatic rivalry intersect in South Asia. Escalation remains a risk: New Delhi rejects the charges, Afghanistan denies harbouring militias, while Islamabad emphasises accountability and counter-measures. As tensions rise, trade, transit and diplomatic channels could bear collateral consequences. Ultimately, Pakistan stands at a junction: will it defuse the cycle with dialogue, or deepen confrontation?
